Well-formed translucent and highly lustrous emerald green Dioptase crystals to 1.2 cm richly encrust a matrix of milky white Dolomite crystals with a pearly lustre. For its size this is a wonderful Dioptase miniature which ticks all the boxes. It is mounted on a small clear acrylic base with attached label and is from a famous Tsumeb thumbnail/miniature collection.
